If you see professional level students setting themselves apart in handling writing, speaking, reporting assignments, as well as in managing their activities, you can believe the skills they have acquired were from a program giving them tips, strategies, formats, and procedures that did not come from training in their professional level schools.

 

Success-oriented folk who survey the many books on the subject of success can be assured that they will look in vain for a book that pertains to the achievement of success in the general sense of the word.  Unlike the others with one-dimensional themes that are pertinent to inspiration, motivation, and suggestions that advise the building up of some deficiency, this one is probably named.  The mere thumbing through its pages is enough to separate it from all others of its kind.

 

Although these three books — the Basic Manual, The Facilitator Edition, and The Support Manual and Workbook — were designed to be utilized in a structured training program, the driver of the program is the Basic Manual.  This manual is unique because it consists mostly of 1or 2-page discussions on topics not covered in regular courses of study.  It has been said that these short discussions stand alone in revealing easily adopted strategies, formats, and tips for being more successful; however, when these are facilitated by the exercises contained in the Support Manual and Workbook, individuals will find themselves with widened horizons and with success skills that will come in handy in the 21st Century’s educational social, economic and workplace arenas.

 

The high praise given in the testimonials regarding this one-of-a-kind program are indicators of the usefulness of these books in extending the knowledge and skills of individuals in various audience groups.   As for the program’s usefulness to those who wish to separate themselves from their contemporaries, the quote below from a university vice president is intended to highlight its value:

“I regret not having such a book in my possession during my years of study to be a professional.  The tips within it would have allowed me to reach my educational and other life pursuit goals faster, easier, and with less turmoil.”

 

 Who should read this book?

NOTE: While the book referred to is Basic Manual of the The All-Around Success In A Nutshell Program, this reference holds also for Student Textbook in The Super Tips For Success Program developed mainly for university level students. 

A. One who wishes to know more about:

  • Winning friends
  • Influencing people

B.  One who is, or is going to be:

  • A Manager
  • A Leader
  • A trainer of others, as a: Teacher, Coach, Social Organization Leader, Parent

C.  One who wishes to give a special gift to:

  • A person who seems to have everything
  • A newly wed couple
  • A high achieving graduate

 

Reasons for reading this book?

Reason 1: Because other books do not cover these subjects so wholesomely.  The others flag in explaining how to win over people in the various categories we must deal with — to include employees and employers — and they fail in identifying and outlining the skills that automatically make impressions on others concerning one’s abilities.  Even the book entitled, “How to Win Friends and Influence People,” falls short of this one in doing so.

 

Reason 2: Because other books do not give insights as clearly concerning the groups of people in our lives — their natures, the kind of personalities they have, their ‘hot buttons,’ and how to get along successfully with them.

 

Reason 3: Because other books and courses do not provide skills for thinking critically, making decisions, solving problems, setting goals, and meeting challenges as this one does.  Nor do they provide practical strategies, formats, and tips that are useful in training, managing, and leading others.

 

Reason 4: Because other books do not provide knowledge, strategies, and skills essential for success in the personal, interpersonal, educational, social, business, and life skill arenas; nor for being able to deal with the economy and the workplace with confidence and power.

 

Reason 5: Because many of the tips provided in this book are designed to have an immediate positive effect in changing attitudes, building up of strong characters, and in helping one be more successful with educational pursuits and with evaluations of all types.

 

Reason 6: Because this book will more than likely lead to interest in the support books designed to further implant the tips and ideas more vividly, soundly, and memorably in the reader’s mind.

 

Testimonials

This book should be required reading not only for every professor, manager, and leader at the university — it should be a requirement for all who wish to be a teacher, manager, or leader in any field of endeavor.

Retired University VP

I have not seen another equal to this magical book.  It was developed ingeniously, and ought to be at the fingertips of all who wish to be successful in college and beyond.

Mark T. McDonald, Esq.

The readings in The Basic Manual provided a preponderance of information professionals and intellectuals will find enlightening.  Both the manual and the support workbook evoked a sense of empowerment in me that is difficult to explain; however, I am certain that all who get involved in this unique program will integrate the tips and strategies highlighted into their repertoires, and that they will be more confident and capable individuals as a result.

Susan M. Bynam

You have done a great work!  The activities within The Support Manual and Workbook are powerful!  They call for in-depth thinking, critical thinking, and higher order thinking skills.  I am glad I suggested that it, along with your novel Facilitator’s Edition be developed.  You have every right to be extremely proud of your achievement in producing 3 unique books that will make a difference in the lives of many.
School District Superintendent

Congratulations!  The briefing developed for this unique and sorely needed program can hardly be improved on.  It was absolutely clear, complete, and skillfully rendered.  I agree with you in thinking the educational reform as presently presented is missing the mark, and that the themes you address in your program pertain to the issues that need to be a part of the conversation in just the right way.

These themes are:

  • Understanding educational problems, and how to deal with them.
  • Increasing student academic achievement.
  • Improving character development training.
  • Developing strong life skills in the interpersonal, leadership, management, team player, and employment arenas, and
  • Establishing a framework for instructional excellence for individuals involve in the training of others.

While I believe this work can be infused/integrated with academic and after school classes, as well as be made an integral part of learning community and professional development programs; I must suggest that you consider various other ways of getting it implemented, and that you apply for grant support to finance this endeavor.  Due to the difficulty of having such a program adopted by the schools and universities, the Success Club format mentioned earlier may be your best option.

An Incredible Journey

By Holland E. Bynam

In this memoir, Holland E. Bynam, a retired US Army colonel and educational administrator, looks back at a life defined by beating the odds. In a series of vignettes, he recalls both those who helped him and those who failed to assist him in making his world and that of those around him richer. While his approach to telling his story may be unconventional—at times he answers the questions of fictional interviewers to enliven his story—it allows him to convey a full orchard of anecdotes, insights, truths, ideals, and present day concerns.

Bynam’s story is from the soul of a gifted man. It looks back at his early, military, and later educational experiences; and to his efforts in changing lives for the better. He also shares his thoughts on topics such as educational reform, the essence of Christianity, the deadliest sins, tips for success, the struggle in the Middle East, and more.

An Incredible Journey shares excitement, insights, and secrets; seeks to energize you to chase your own dreams; and encourages debates and conversations at numerous venues.

Not only did I find myself immersed in the storyline of this saga-laden epic, at its end I found that I had been more enriched by the content therein than by any other book I have reviewed.

Calvin Carnew

In this sprawling memoir, Bynam (On Being a Better You, 2011) displays his keen memory, homespun wisdom, pugnacious spirit, eclectic interests and unorthodox opinions.  Indeed, no significant domain — politics, religion, philosophy, education, science or culture — escapes his ruminations.

The Kirkus Review

His Army service in Vietnam led to several medals and decorations, and ultimately to work with the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was a leader and teacher, able to meet and mingle with U.S. presidents and other heads of  state, creating a legacy worth preserving.

The BlueInk Review
Bynam’s goal was to produce a work that would not only have a positive impact on others but would also be seen as unique. To this end, he created a fictitious “Court of Interviewers” that asked him more than three hundred questions about events in his life.
